Trusted by Portland Business Owners

“They were quick to get back to us and set up an in person appointment to discuss final taxes on an estate. The office was professional and in a great easy to get location.”

“We have had our taxes done here for many years. They have always been professional and provided excellent customer service.”

“Tim is wonderful. Easy to work with and very thorough, saving me money on my business taxes. I wouldn't use anyone else.”
CPAs With a Passion for Estate Planning
Established in 1964 in Portland’s Hollywood district, this firm already offered extraordinary tax planning services. Since then, I have evolved our company beyond the typical Portland accounting firm to include estate planning and wealth advisory because I wanted to take care of my family’s legacy wealth and help others do the same.
Over the years, clients have passed away and I’ve seen the disaster it creates for those who don’t have a plan in place. I truly want better for you and your family.
I know what good estate planning looks like for a bereaved family. It takes unnecessary stress off their plate and leaves them in a very good situation for decades.
On behalf of my family and our amazing team at Downing & Co, I look forward to working with you so you can save in taxes today and ensure your legacy for the future.

1 Fun And 1 Interesting Fact About Portland!
Portland is affectionately known as the “City of Roses” due to its ideal rose-growing climate, which led to the establishment of an annual Rose Festival starting in 1907. An intriguing feature of Portland is Mill Ends Park, officially recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest park in the world, measuring just two feet in diameter. It was created in 1948 on a median strip for the purpose of being a colony for leprechauns and a location for snail races.
